Luo Zhanyu frowned. "So, you already have a way to get out?"
"Not yet."
Luo Zhanyu did not know if he was happy or worried. "Since you don't have a way to get out, how can you guarantee that you will give her a grand wedding? If you can't get out, are you going to stay here forever? "
"So, what do you mean?"
"There are rules here. Since you are here, you should follow the rules here. You have to prepare a wedding that everyone approves of."
…
There were more men than women in this place, and it was monogamous. Therefore, it was not easy for a man to marry a wife. It was necessary for the man to be in love with his wife, but he also had to pass all kinds of tests. Only by passing the tests could he gain everyone's approval. Then, everyone would organize a grand wedding for him and let him marry his wife.
Because it was too difficult, it was extremely precious. Therefore, the tests were strange and extremely difficult to pass. Some men had to prepare for seven to eight years just to get married!
For example, to get the approval of all the men, one had to cater to their preferences.
After all, there were too many wolves and too little meat. A woman was usually liked by seven to eight men. If this woman got married, it would mean that the others had no hope. Therefore, it would be extremely difficult to get their approval.
Although Gu Xijiu had only been here for a short period of time, she had won the favor of many men. Almost all the single men present liked her and were eager to win her heart. Needless to say, Baili Ce and the others had already expressed their intention to pursue her.
There were also some who were more cautious. Because the time was still short and she was so outstanding, they were a little inferior to her. Everyone secretly competed with each other, wanting to improve their own cultivation and temper their own abilities so that they could stand shoulder to shoulder with her. Then, they would think of ways to pursue her.
Before Di Fuyi came, the men around Gu Xijiu had secretly competed for the heart of the beauty. They had come up with several plans to win her heart.
Now, Di Fuyi was here, and he came as her fiancé.
He had more or less a grudge with everyone. Although he had saved everyone that night, it only lessened the knot in everyone's heart a little. It didn't disappear completely. Everyone was still a little wary of him.
Right now, everyone was keeping a respectful distance from him. They didn't even recognize him as a member of the tribe, so it would be extremely difficult for him to gain their approval.
Obtaining everyone's consent was only one of the conditions. The other condition was that he had to use his weakest skill to obtain some benefits for everyone …
For example, if a person who was good at gathering wanted to go hunting alone in the mountains, the beast he hunted must be the most delicious and could be eaten by everyone. The beasts that met this condition were all very ferocious, and the slightest carelessness could cost him his life.
Those who were good at hunting had to climb the trees to gather enough fruits and leaves for the entire tribe to use for a day. Similarly, if they went alone, they would be beaten up by the baboons.
Because of these harsh conditions, the men had to be very determined if they wanted to get married. After going through so many difficulties, they would naturally treat their wives like treasures.
Now, Luo Zhanyu showed these conditions in front of Di Fuyi and asked him if he dared to accept these tests.
He was afraid that Di Fuyi would not agree, so he added, "Celestial Master Zuo, I know you're very capable. If you insist on staying with Xijiu, I can't do anything about it. However, if you don't even dare to accept these conditions, how can you prove your sincerity to Xijiu? Xijiu ran away from the wedding because she was unhappy with you. She did it because she felt insecure … So, if you don't dare to accept these conditions, I will doubt your sincerity, and I will never admit that you're my brother-in-law! "
His words were sonorous and threatening. Gu Xijiu frowned slightly.
The matter between her and Di Fuyi was a private matter. She did not want anyone to interfere, not even her relatives.
She knew Di Fuyi's sincerity to her better than anyone else. There was no need for him to deliberately set up obstacles. When she was about to speak, Di Fuyi, who was next to her, said, "Luo Zhanyu, initially, you have no right to interfere in the matter between me and her. It doesn't matter to me whether you admit it or not. However, since I'm here to marry her, I don't want people to gossip about her. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I'll follow your rules."
He actually agreed to it so readily!
Gu Xijiu felt warm in her heart. She could not help but send a directed audio to him. "You don't have to agree, I don't care about these things."
Di Fuyi held her in his arms and chuckled in her ear. "It's okay, I can easily pass the test with my ability. Don't worry." They still had to stay here for a while, and he did not want others to gossip about Gu Xijiu. After all, if they did not get the approval of the public, it would be like they were living together illegally, and they might be laughed at by other women.
Thus, the matter was settled.
When Di Fuyi nodded and agreed, Luo Zhanyu mentioned another rule. Unmarried men and women were not allowed to live together. Before these conditions were fulfilled, the man was not allowed to see the woman.
Di Fuyi was speechless.
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
Celestial Master Zuo gritted his teeth. "I have my ways to get everyone's approval. What do you want me to do that I'm not good at? Quickly say it, this seat naturally has a way to complete it! " It was not easy for him to reconcile with Gu Xijiu. They had just been together for a day, and he really did not want to be separated.
Luo Zhanyu coughed. "About this … You can finish the other conditions first. I'll think about this one."
Di Fuyi was speechless. He simply said, "I'll give you an hour to think about it. I won't wait for you if you're late!"
"Alright!" Luo Zhanyu agreed and pulled Gu Xijiu away. "Xijiu, come with me first. I have something to tell you."
He pulled Gu Xijiu away and left Di Fuyi there.
At this moment, there were still many onlookers. After all, everyone was still building their homes today. Only a few of them had gone to hunt and collect materials.
Everyone looked at Di Fuyi who was standing there. The men were all gloating. They had made up their minds that they would not easily agree to this matter. It was rare to find an opportunity to make things difficult for Celestial Master Zuo. How could they not make fun of him? It was not a bad idea to take the opportunity to take revenge!
On the other hand, the women were sympathetic. They felt that the superior Celestial Master Zuo had met his match this time. It would be extremely difficult for him to find a wife in a peaceful place.
…
"Xijiu, what's the thing that he's not good at?" Luo Zhanyu asked Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu pursed her lips and answered stiffly, "I don't know!"
"Xijiu, are you angry with me?" Luo Zhanyu asked after a moment of silence.
Gu Xijiu frowned and said lightly, "I don't want anyone to interfere in my matters." She was a modern woman. She hated it when her family interfered with her children's marriage. Moreover, it was her brother who was trying to break them up.
Luo Zhanyu was silent for a while before he said, "Xijiu, you might think that I'm being a busybody, but think about our mother. She insisted on marrying General Gu despite her family's objection. She brought her own dowry and did not even have a wedding. Many people looked at her with disdain and scolded her. They said that our mother was trying to get close to General Gu. When they quarreled, General Gu even said something like 'marry her, run away and become a concubine'. It was already a great favor for him to allow her to be the first wife of General Gu. Logically speaking, she should be a concubine. Although he apologized to our mother many times because of what he said and said that it was a slip of the tongue, it could be seen that deep down in his heart, he also felt that it was not proper for a girl to marry him without asking for anything. He did not really treat our mother as a treasure. Most men do not cherish women who are too easy to get … Xijiu, I don't want you to follow in our mother's footsteps. I hope that you will be loved by our husband and he will treat you well for the rest of your life."
Gu Xijiu was touched by his words. She sighed and said, "Brother, in fact, I understand what you're saying. He has done a lot for me. You don't even know about those things. We have been through life and death together many times. It has not been easy for us to get to where we are today. It is not something that an ordinary couple can be compared to …"
Luo Zhanyu sighed, "Alright, Xijiu, since you said so, I will not deliberately make things difficult for him. Just follow the normal procedure here. Since you have become husband and wife here, in order to prevent others from gossiping, he still has to go through the formalities."
At this point, Gu Xijiu could not argue anymore.
Alright then, she would do as the Romans do! In fact, she also wanted to see how Di Fuyi was going to get everyone's consent and how he was going to make them surrender.
She had been here for more than 10 days and had almost grasped the personalities of dozens of people. Perhaps it was because of the harsh environment, each of them was as lonely as a wolf and as arrogant as a bear. Although they admired the strong, they were not afraid of power and were not afraid of death.
According to Baili Ce, he grew up being scared. His head would have a big scar! It was not a big deal! He could lose his head, but he could not lose his moral integrity!
Therefore, if Di Fuyi wanted to get their approval, he would not be able to use his identity to suppress them. What else would he use?
"Oh yes, little sister, what is he not good at?" Luo Zhanyu had not forgotten about this.
To Celestial Master Zuo, it was a piece of cake to go up the tree to collect and hunt in the mountains. Therefore, he could not ask him such a difficult question.
Of course, he could not ask him to cook, wash clothes, or make clothes. This was a man's world, and Luo Zhanyu wanted to test his ability as a man.
Gu Xijiu sighed. Di Fuyi was good at many things, but there were not many things that he was not good at.
Suddenly, she thought of something. "He is not good at fishing!"
Luo Zhanyu was doubtful. "Really?"
Gu Xijiu regretted it after she said it. Celestial Master Zuo was already miserable enough, how could she add insult to injury?
Therefore, she coughed and said, "It's not true … He is not good at … He is not good at hunting …"
Luo Zhanyu looked at her and actually saw through her thoughts. He smiled and said, "Then, let's test his fishing. Let him catch enough fish for the whole village to eat for a day."
Gu Xijiu was speechless.
'Celestial Master Zuo, I don't want to sell you. Good luck …'
…
Everyone in the village was waiting for Celestial Master Zuo to come and beg for their help. They had already thought of countless ways to torment Celestial Master Zuo. In the end, three days had passed, and Celestial Master Zuo did not visit anyone.
He also kept his promise and did not look for Gu Xijiu for the past three days. Of course, he also slept in his own room at night.
In the past three days, everyone had almost rebuilt their homes and had basically resumed their previous life. Those who needed to collect gathered, and those who needed to hunt went hunting. Gu Xijiu initially wanted to see Di Fuyi's skills, but he did not move at all. It was as if he had forgotten about it. Therefore, Gu Xijiu temporarily ignored him and focused on practicing alchemy.
However, Luo Zhanyu was a little impatient. When he saw Di Fuyi, he tried to ask him about it, but Di Fuyi ignored him. He was still elusive, and no one could really track his whereabouts.
This made Luo Zhanyu very angry. From time to time, he would come to Gu Xijiu's place to talk.
"Xijiu, men are actually a little despicable. Once they succeed in conquering you, they will no longer care about it. You let him have you, and he knows that you can't run away, so he will keep his cool."
"This person is so calm. Is it because he is used to being superior and is used to people begging for his help? He probably thinks that since you love him so much and have become his woman, you will definitely not be able to keep your cool and look for him. In this way, he can turn passivity into initiative. "
"Xijiu, I think this person does not care about you at all! Otherwise, it would not be like this. "
He came to Gu Xijiu's place to talk to him every day. Occasionally, Gu Xijiu would be absent-minded and almost fail to refine the medicine!
In the end, Gu Xijiu could not help but say, "Brother, you are even more naggy than an old lady. Are you going through menopause earlier? Come, let me give you a pill to calm down. "
Gu Xijiu stuffed a pill into Luo Zhanyu's palm.
Luo Zhanyu's lips twitched. "Xijiu, aren't you sad that he is like this?"
Gu Xijiu shrugged. "What is there to be sad about? I trust him. "
Luo Zhanyu was speechless.
Fine, he did not say anything!
"Xijiu, why haven't I seen you eating in the canteen these few days? You did not eat much of the food that was sent to you. Are you feeling unwell? "Luo Zhanyu seemed to have thought of something." Do you have … "
Gu Xijiu put a finger on his lips to stop him from speaking. "You are thinking too much!"
Even if she was pregnant, she would need to wait for her period to pass more than 40 days before she could have a reaction. Her period had only passed for about 10 days.
Moreover, she did not believe that she would win the lottery on her first try.
However, she was really looking forward to having his baby. Both of them were very good-looking, so she believed that their baby would have a high IQ.
"Then why don't you go to eat?" Luo Zhanyu was persistent.
Gu Xijiu paused for a moment and told the truth. "Actually, he prepares food for me every day."
Luo Zhanyu was furious. "It seems that he has broken the promise! He clearly said that he would not come to see you before we get married! "
Gu Xijiu turned around and continued to refine the medicine. Her voice was calm. "He did not see me, but every time I go back, there is a table full of hot food waiting for me." The food that he prepared for her was very sumptuous. It was small but exquisite, just enough for her to eat alone.
Luo Zhanyu paused for a moment. "I didn't expect him to cook …"
Gu Xijiu smiled and said slowly, "He brought it from the outside. Hmm, it's the delicacies from all over the continent. He brought some of them with him."
Because the food that Di Fuyi prepared for her was brought in from the outside, it looked good, smelled good, and was naturally different from the tasteless food here. Naturally, she did not want to eat the food here.
Luo Zhanyu was speechless.
He was angry at her for not fighting back. "Xijiu, he is making you greedy for his food so that you can't leave him! This person is really cunning! "
Gu Xijiu smiled and did not say anything.
What Luo Zhanyu meant was that Di Fuyi used the food to make her fall in love with him. So what? She liked it!
She liked his sugar-coated speech very much.
However, Gu Xijiu was a little puzzled by Di Fuyi's lack of action. What was Di Fuyi up to?
…
In fact, Di Fuyi's behavior was a little confusing.
For example, when they were collecting in the trees, they were surrounded by a large number of baboons. When they were nervously fighting with the baboons, he suddenly appeared on the treetop not far away and stepped on a small branch. He was so leisurely like a celestial being that had descended to the mortal world. It made the people who were a little dispirited.
Celestial Master Zuo usually liked to sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Even if both sides were beaten to a pulp, he would still stand by and watch them die. Everyone had long heard of this characteristic of his, so they did not expect him to help.
The leader of the harvesting team thought that Celestial Master Zuo probably wanted to take this opportunity to ask for some conditions as a reward for helping them. He did not expect that he would directly help them this time. A song flowed from his fingertips, and then the baboons started to dance and no longer cared about chasing after them.
When everyone was rescued by him, they were vigilantly waiting for him to ask for some conditions. They did not expect him to turn around and leave. He did not even say a word to them.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They felt as if they were stepping on air.
Similarly, the hunting team also encountered similar situations. In times of crisis, Celestial Master Zuo would appear from the sky and save them from danger. He would then leave again.
After all, these people were hot-blooded men who would repay kindness and enmity. They also wanted to repay this debt of gratitude, but they couldn't find any other opportunity.
After so many times, they were less vigilant against him. When they encountered danger, they habitually hoped that he would come.
Just like that, five days had passed. When Di Fuyi appeared again, he would occasionally give them some advice. For example, he pointed out some mistakes that they made in their practice, and the inadequacies of their skills.
His guidance had practically hit the nail on the head, causing them to feel as if they had been enlightened and benefited greatly.
These people were passionate about martial arts and were extremely obsessed with it. Therefore, some of them took the initiative to ask Celestial Master Zuo for advice. Since Celestial Master Zuo was in a good mood, he would give them some advice, which was enough for them to learn for more than ten years.
Gradually, except for those who had a competitive relationship with Di Fuyi or had some hatred towards him, most of them were convinced by Di Fuyi. They took the initiative to agree to the marriage between Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu.
Di Fuyi was not always high and mighty. He was still very close to the people. Therefore, he would occasionally take out some wine to share with them.
It was the easiest for men to make friends at the table. After a few drinks, these people had already treated Di Fuyi as their brother.
Not only did they agree to the marriage, but many of them even began to persuade those who disagreed.
They said that Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi were a match made in heaven. In order to find his wife, he had risked his life to chase after her. Their love for each other could shake the world. In addition, Gu Xijiu was also infatuated with him, so there was no need for them to be the stick that separated them. If they continued to oppose, they would not be manly at all.
In just ten days, almost everyone in the village, except for Baili Ce, had become the supporters of the marriage. Everyone looked for Luo Zhanyu and expressed their views.
Luo Zhanyu did not expect Di Fuyi to be able to settle these rebellious men in ten days. He was a little impressed. He was waiting for Di Fuyi to take down Baili Ce, who was a tough nut to crack.
Everyone knew that Baili Ce liked Gu Xijiu. He was very stubborn, and he would fight for anything he set his mind on. Even nine bulls would not be able to pull him back.
When it came to Gu Xijiu, he was not susceptible to persuasion. No one could persuade him. He would cut off all ties with anyone who said too much.
His attitude was so tough that his friends did not dare to persuade him anymore. They did not want to be implicated.
Almost half a month had passed, and he still did not say anything.
It was time for the fortnightly gathering.
Everyone gathered together, and Gu Xijiu rarely came out from the alchemy room to meet with everyone.
She had not seen Di Fuyi for almost half a month. At most, they would see each other from afar, and then they would go about their own business.
There was a bonfire, barbecue, and all kinds of delicious food.
However, the people were not in the mood to sing and laugh.
Although they were already indifferent to life and death in this place, they had lost four or five companions in the last bonfire. It was a big blow to them. At this bonfire, some people could not help but mention them, and the atmosphere was even more depressing.
In order to boost the morale of the people, Luo Zhanyu asked them to sit in a circle and play drinking games.
Of course, the number of drinking games that they knew was very limited. It was nothing more than games like beating drums and passing flowers. Everyone was not in the mood to play, and the atmosphere was still lifeless, which made Luo Zhanyu very worried.
Gu Xijiu, who had been sitting quietly and listening to them, suddenly suggested a game — Truth or Dare.
It was a game that modern people were used to playing, but it was still very fresh to these people. Sure enough, it made them a lot more spirited.
She briefly explained the rules, and everyone began to play.
Most of the people chose truth when they lost. After all, dare was too much of a taboo, and everyone still had their concerns.
Gu Xijiu also lost once, and the winner was Baili Ce.
Baili Ce had drunk a lot of wine. At this moment, he looked at her with a pair of slightly red eyes. "Xijiu, do you choose truth or dare?"
Gu Xijiu played with the chopsticks in her hand and asked him, "What is dare? What is truth? "
Baili Ce took a light breath. "Dare means that you have to kiss me in front of everyone. Truth means that you have to answer my questions truthfully. There is no way you can lie!"
